Nora the leopard at the London Zoo is a friendly animal
Nora the leopard at the London Zoo is a friendly animal, that is when you are on the other side of the bars of her cage. She likes her nose rubbed, or her back scratched, but it just has to be the keeper doing it. She rolls over on her back when she wants to play. Ready for any fun that is going. Her fun could be very rough. December 1952 P004192

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1952, we are introduced to Nora the leopard at the London Zoo. Despite her fierce appearance, Nora is known for her friendly nature - well, as long as you're on the other side of the bars of her cage! This magnificent creature enjoys human interaction and has a particular fondness for having her nose rubbed or back scratched by her keepers. Nora's playful demeanor shines through in this image as she rolls over onto her back, eagerly inviting anyone willing to engage in some fun with her. However, be warned that Nora's definition of fun can be quite rough! Her powerful paws and sharp claws make it clear that playtime with this spotty beauty requires a certain level of caution. The adorable scene captured here showcases not only Nora's undeniable cuteness but also highlights the unique bond between animals and their caretakers. It is heartwarming to witness how even wild creatures like leopards can develop affectionate relationships within captivity. This nostalgic photograph takes us back to a simpler time in the 1950s when visiting zoos was a popular pastime for families seeking entertainment and education. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts, we are able to relive these moments and appreciate the beauty of nature's most majestic creations like Nora.
